 | Collected poems of Samuel Davies : 1723-1761 |  |
[No. IV. My God! I'm pleas'd that Thou art All in All]
My God! I'm pleas'd that Thou art All in All,
Should Nature totter, and to Nothing fall.
My Being sprung from thy creative Breath,
And on Thy Will depend my Life and Death.
Let Heav'n, Earth, Men and Angels cease to Be,
I've Bliss enough, I've all I wish in Thee;
Thy single Self's compleat Felicity.
I'm happy, since my God must always live,
Tho' Vanity is my Prerogative.
This Spark of Being Homage pays to Thee,
Thou boundless Fountain of all Entity;
Rejoices in the unbounded Plenitude
Of Thy Perfections, Thou infinite Good!
Should Nature totter, and to Nothing fall.
My Being sprung from thy creative Breath,
And on Thy Will depend my Life and Death.
